However, fi rst and foremost: we are glad to have you as our guest! www.hahn-airport.de EV 105x210 4c UK.indd 1 14.12.2007 14:06:43 Uh Trier inviting Mainz you! Koblenz Kaiserslautern Speyer Worms A feeling that goes under your skin... Treat yourself to a holiday of pure romance and full of passion. Six towns in south- west Germany invite you to partake in exciting experiences, creative pleasures and unforgettable memories. The romantic cities of Trier, Koblenz, Mainz, Worms, Speyer and Kaiserslautern – all boasting a wealth of history, all situated along the Rhine and Moselle rivers and all of them marked by legendary castles and palaces, mighty cathedrals and churches, crooked old streets and modern shopping arcades, alluring culinary specialities and world-famous wines. Sparkling moments are guaranteed... ! The weather and climate have always been particularly kind to this region. Fresh fragrant air rests over the elevations of the Palatine Forest while lower down, the abun- dant Rhine Valley fans out like the Garden of Eden: It is here that almond trees present their pink blossoms so early in the year, figs and lemons ripen in the summer warmth and, in autumn, a sea of grapes transforms the hills of the vineyards into a golden vista. This is the vast, beautiful, earthy, wine-loving and sun-drenched land of Rhineland- Palatinate. Its charming towns and picturesque landscapes provide the enchanting surroundings for your sparkling romantic holiday treat. Treat yourself to art, culture and history, events, wellness and pleasure! 2 11 Trier exciting Mainz you! Koblenz Kaiserslautern Speyer Worms Mainz Cathedral Palatinate Forest Places to indulge your passion... Getting to your prickling experience... Let‘s go to the Romantik Cities! Sparkling moments guaranteed, passions aroused! Getting to Rhineland-Palatinate from UK, Ireland or Sweden by air couldn‘t be simpler Enter Trier as the Romans once did, through the Porta Nigra gate. Amid the lively or more fun, and Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (HHN) is the ideal starting point from which to atmosphere of the medieval city, sights such as the amphitheatre, the Roman baths explore the state. and the majestic throne room of Emperor Constantine the Great are bound to impress anyone with even the most fleeting interest in history! Did you know that Trier Cathedral More detailed information on www.romantic-cities.com. is Germany‘s oldest church, and in the 4th century AD was the largest church in the whole Roman Empire? Koblenz is where the Moselle meets the Rhine, beneath the Kaiser-Wilhelm monument at the famous Deutsches Eck (German Corner), just a stone‘s throw from the old quarter. Are you fascinated by the Romantic Rhine? Stol- zenfels Castle is the first of more than 40 castles, palaces and fortresses in the Rhine Valley. Delve into the legend of the mysterious Loreley… When the grapes hang fat and heavy on the vine, the true charm of Mainz comes to the fore with countless wine festivals, quaint bars and a vibrant young restaurant scene. Surrounded by the renowned wine-making regions of Rheinhessen and Rhein- gau, this is a place where you can indulge and develop your passion for fine wine, and enjoy a varied programme of cultural events. Once an important centre of politics and power, Speyer has been shaped by rulers with a passion for architecture. No fewer than eight German kings and emperors lie buried inside Speyer‘s awe-inspiring cathedral, the largest Romanesque church on the European continent Together with the cathedrals in Mainz and Worms, it forms a chain of Romanesque imperial cathedrals along the Rhine and symbolises the region‘s rich history. Kaiserslautern is known for the traditional passion of its inhabitants for the beau- tiful game. The football stadium is the scene of celebration, anxiety and even triumph – a real maelstrom of emotions. Kaiserslautern is a city of contrasts: the football arena, the natural beauty of the ancient Palatinate Forest, Europe‘s largest Japanese garden, cosy wine bars, and restaurants with French-inspired cooking. Passion can have many faces! Pride, war, jealousy and love are the ingredients of the epic medieval tale of the Nibelungs, in which trickery and deception lead to the murder of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer, Germany‘s most popular hero figure. Most of the scenes from the Song of the Nibelungs are set in and around Worms, a town where the boundaries between imagination and reality begin to blur, and where the Nibelung Festival brings the ancient Rhineland-Palatinate saga to life in its original setting...

Sparkling moments are guaranteed in Trier since it is Germany’s sparkling wine ma- king capital! The Petrisberg above the Roman amphitheatre is the perfect location to enjoy a picturesque sunset. The panoramic view from St. Mary’s Column down to the sun-drenched meander of the Moselle river is matchless for romantic evenings. Stylish candlelight dinners await you in the restaurants on the terraces of the Moselle river while a plethora of excellent meals and wines are to be found within the historic walls of the vineyards. Mainz – wine throughout the year 2 When the vines are sagging with an abundance of plump grapes this town on the Rhi- ne presents its most charming face with innumerable wine festivals and lively culinary experiences in the traditional vineyard taverns. The highlight is the Mainz Wine Market on the last weekend of August and the first weekend of September. Later in the year, sample exquisite Rheinhessen wines in the traditional wine taverns of the picturesque old town. Explore its narrow alleyways and splash out in its fancy shops.

Preface Rome and the huge Empire it built during the first centuries AD extended over vast swathes of Europe, the Near East and North Africa. This Empire has fascinated people since the days of the Enlightenment. In the wake of Rome’s military conquests, Roman culture also spread and began to influence the cultural expressions of the societies it vanquished. These developments, combined with intensive mobility and trade – especially within the Empire – ensured a flourishing exchange between cultures and peoples. When Rome’s expansion came to an end, linear frontiers known as limites were created from the 1st century AD onwards to secure the borders.
